US: Eagle Materials revenue has risen by 5% year-on-year to US$933m in the first nine months of its financial year to 31 March 2017 from US$891m in the same period in the previous year. Its net earnings rose by 43% to US$162m from US$113m. Sales from its cement division rose by 7% to US$359m from US$335m. However, sales volumes fell slightly to 3.89Mt. Sales volumes of cement from its joint-venture in Texas grew faster than wholly-owned plants, despite cement prices falling as production shifted from oil well cement to construction-grade cement over the past year.
